Cora is English/German and means "maiden" Elliott is English and is a derivative of Elias/Elijah, which means "my God is Yahweh."
We chose those options for girl/boy names because we think they're pretty and classic/traditional, not because of the meanings. I just had to go look up the meanings now! :P
As part of Jewish culture we had to pick names that began with certain letters. Jakob comes from the Jewish translation of Yakov my grandfather and Reilly was a name we both liked for the letter R
My son is Donovan which means Dark Haired Chieftain. DH is Spanish and has dark curly hair so we figured our son would as well. So the meaning fit.
Possible names for the twins: Katherine - Pure Elizabeth - Oath of my god Nathaniel - Given of God Benjamin - Son of the right hand
We like these names but are not religious at all so the meaning is not really a factor. Now if the meanings were very off or strange it would probably matter.
One of the names we're thinking about means "fighter of elves" or something like that. I hope if we go with that name no one ever asks us what it means. I'll have to make up something better to tell people!
My DD is Carson and named for my deceased father. It means "Son of the marsh-dwellers".
One of the twin boys will definitely be Silas. It means "Son of the forest". Guess I have a thing for sons of nature The other boy has yet to be named.
DD's name means Christian, as close as I can tell. I think her birth mother made it up. DS1 is Divine Gift. DS2 will either be named Peace or From the Protected City.
My oldest is Kaya which means "pure". I had already picked the name and had no idea if it meant anything or not before I learned the meaning. The meaning made it so much better .
My second, Ronan, means "little seal". My husband picked this one but wanted Ronin which means "samurai without a master". I wasnt fond of the meaning or the spelling of that one and suggested Ronan which he agreed to.
We haven't exactly agreed in a name yet for this baby boy but I'm hoping DH will go with the name I would like which is Rhys (for those who don't know, it's pronounced Reece). I just looked it up and it means "enthusiasm". I like it .
Violet means purple flower. I don't know the meaning of Elise off the top of my head. We originally wanted to use Alice after DH's grandma. However that would make LO's initials VAG. Yeah that's a deal breaker. We figured Elise sounded close enough lol.
One of the names we're thinking about means "fighter of elves" or something like that. I hope if we go with that name no one ever asks us what it means. I'll have to make up something better to tell people!
DS is Gavin which means white hawk; little hawk or hawk of the battle.
DD is Eden which means paradise; delight; pleasure
I want to name our baby girl Adele which means noble; kind; good humor.
I haven't fully convinced DH. He wants Naliyah which I think is pretty but kind of a made up name which would always have to be spelt out. I prefer simple names.
